Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini highlights state growth and 9,500 crore rupees investment commitments

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini marked the completion of two years of his government's third consecutive term on Saturday by highlighting a series of infrastructure, industrial, and social welfare achievements that have propelled the state towards comprehensive economic growth.

Addressing a press conference in Chandigarh accompanied by Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda and Agriculture Minister Shyam Singh Rana, the Chief Minister released a report card detailing state progress under the national framework of Viksit Haryana, Viksit Bharat. Saini confirmed that 76 of the 217 commitments outlined in the government's election manifesto have been fulfilled within two years, with implementation underway on the remaining 141 promises.

Driving global investment and industrial expansion

A central focus of the state's growth agenda has been expanding international partnerships and attracting foreign capital. Following official visits to Sweden and Singapore, the state government secured high-value investment commitments aimed at building technology-driven infrastructure and creating thousands of jobs.

The Chief Minister announced that Haryana will host the 'Happening Haryana Global Investors Summit-2027' in April 2027 to further accelerate investment into regional growth centres such as Panchkula, Karnal, Hisar, Sonipat, and Rohtak.

Governance reforms and youth empowerment

Highlighting structural reforms in public administration, Saini stated that 46,500 young people have been recruited into government services purely on merit over the past two years, effectively dismantling past practices of favouritism and political recommendations.

Major welfare initiatives detailed during the conference include:

• Economic support for women: Over 10 lakh women are receiving Rs 2,100 monthly financial assistance under the Deen Dayal Lado Lakshmi Yojana.
• Youth and veteran security: Guarantee of 20 per cent horizontal reservation in direct recruitment for Agniveers from Haryana, along with service security for contractual staff.
• Agricultural stability: Full crop procurement at Minimum Support Price (MSP) alongside tough legislation against spurious fertilisers and seeds.
• Healthcare access: Free dialysis across all government medical colleges and district hospitals, plus free medical cover up to Rs 5 lakh for citizens aged 70 and above under Ayushman Bharat.

Central backing and regional stability

The Chief Minister emphasized the strong partnership between the central and state governments, noting that Haryana has received over Rs 7 lakh crore through central schemes across the last 12 years. Additionally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced projects worth more than Rs 86,000 crore during 18 official visits to the state.

Countering criticism from former Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda and Congress, who alleged rising debt and unemployment, Saini pointed out that past administrations had overseen systemic regional discrimination and administrative inertia. Saini reaffirmed that the current administration considers power as an avenue for public service, ensuring stable development across all 2.80 crore residents of Haryana.
